COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS
System Compatibility
This silicone gasket is designed exclusively for Shelco swing bolt filter housings in the 4FOS, 5FOS, BFC, and BFS series. Silicone offers excellent resistance to temperature extremes and a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and general industrial water treatment where housing seals must maintain integrity under thermal cycling or contact with aggressive media. Replace gaskets during routine filter changes or whenever compression set or visible wear is detected to prevent bypass and maintain filtration efficiency.
💧 Silicone gaskets should be inspected every time the housing is opened. Replace immediately if you see cracking, flattening, or any loss of elasticity to avoid leaks and unfiltered bypass.
